So is Linkenholt a good investment for your cash?
A source says, “People are backing agricultural land as something that is going to rise in value…this area is close to the M4 corridor and is aesthetically very beautiful. The real draws to Linkenholt are its location, farming land and its renowned high bird pheasant and partridge shoot”.

The 40 inhabitants that currently rent the 22 Linkenholt properties will remain in their homes as a condition of the sale so you’ll be a ready-made landlord!
